It looks like my best hope is for FC33beta to arrive soon, need to check on that. Today I tried "clean all" still the same error message. The only thing that comes to mind is that I added SeaMonkey  via dnf. I would not expect a problem due to that, but maybe? It is more reliable for opening

Btrfs out of space - but plenty of space is available

2020-06-11 Thread Konstantin Svist
Looks like I'm having a problem with my btrfs partition, it thinks it's out of space. Thing is, the drive is 500G and usage according to df and btrfs df is ~250G I removed a couple of snapshots as a workaround but hit the problem again pretty quickly.. I also ran fstrim & btrfs check --clear-space-

After I wrote the question here, I realized what that I didn't google for the condition well enough Long story short, turns out sometimes btrfs reserves the space but doesn't use it -- in this case, a good 40+% of the drive :( Anyway, after a "btrfs balance" I think it's actually resolved. # btrfs
